HP8600 Pro: how to reset to the factory settings

Hello

I googled this and don't read several threads on this forum, no solution is never publicly displayed for this (VERY frustrating) problem and apparently only sent by email or PMs.  So, here I am how I completely reset my printer in order to change the configuration of the network?  All options are locked (including the option 'Restore the default settings of the network', so please don't ask me to do, I already checked and cannot access this option).  I also do NOT have access to the EWS connection info and who cannot access either.

Nobody has ever owned this printer before, I bought it new a product typical and am only asking because I have the problem of "flashing lights" (as infamous) after the passage of routers.

Thank you.

Hello

Have you tried the control panel:

Setup menu > tools > Restore Factory defaults > Yes

Kind regards.

  • Reset to the factory settings without restoration. Why do I see previous contacts?

    I have a new 5 iPhone.

    I added 6 contacts, 2 new downloaded applications. Saved on iCloud and iTunes.

    I had a very old Apple ID with an email address that I no longer use.

    I created a new Apple ID online by using this:

    Change your Apple - Apple Support ID

    Probably because of something, that I was wrong, there is a conflict between this new Apple ID and one on my iPhone.

    No problem. Because I only had 6 contacts and two additional applications, I decided to reset to the factory settings. I do NOT accept the offer to restore a backup.

    So I guess I now have a new phone out-of-the-box.

    In fact, my 6 contacts were always present. The two extra apps were not present.

    I would be very grateful if someone could explain why the 6 contacts are always present.

    I wonder how many other things could be hiding somewhere, which would not be present out-of-the-box.

    You can use a computer and connect to https://www.icloud.com/ and check the Contacts app it (under the two identifications of Apple as I'm not sure of the exact sequence of events that you did). If they are there and if you have settings > iCloud > Contacts under tension, which could explain from whence they came. With this setting, any changes to the Contacts is immediately synchronized between iCloud and the phone as soon as it is connected to iCloud.

  • Setting up Deskjet 6988 for wireless printing after a reset to the factory settings, using Mac OS 10.8

    Hi - How re - connect to my printer wirelessly after a reset to the factory settings? I use Mac OS 10.8. The network on the printer flashes, and on the Mac, it is listed as "not connected". And the page of report confirms that he has lost all of its data.

    Fortunately, I made a report page before resetting, so I think that I know all of the critical information, I need to come back here, but I can't figure out how to do this.

    I read the installation guide, who said to use an ethernet cable and the CD of HP, but I don't have the CD anymore.

    I tried an ethernet cable and entering the IP address of the printer, but which did not, perhaps because it has more this IP address.

    I tried the steps hereand downloaded the latest version of the HP update software software, but I don't see my printer. I went from my wifi to hpsetup network and then I could see and add a second new instance of my printer, but it did not help, because this second instance of the printer is not connected or the other.

    Interestingly, when I am connected to hpsetup, I can print.

    Can someone help me to re - connect this printer? I'll save the reason for reset for another post!

    Thank you very much!

    FIXED! Sunshyne2005, thanks a lot to direct me to the solution!

    Here's what worked:

    1. Connect to hdsetup
    2. Press the report Page button on the printer (the one with the box)
    3. Continue with step 3 of the Sunshyne2005: open a browser and enter the IP address of hdsetup.
    4. Look around for the wireless configuration wizard (sorry, I can't access is no longer hdsetup, and I just don't remember where it is)
    5. Enter the SSID (name) of the wireless network and the password
    6. Note: You will see a button to finish, but it has no effect. At this point, the printer is successfully added to the wireless network and access the hdsetup disappears. Therefore, the wizard will no longer work, but the important thing is that the printer is connected. : )

    Thanks again, Sunshyne2005!

  • My office has been reset to the factory settings. I am enrolled in my sync account, but my favorites that are on my laptop, did not came to the top. Now what?

    I was fortunately sync-ed a year betweem my computer laptop Mac iBook and desktop HP - a lot of bookmarks - I am a student. My office had a small problem and I got it clean and reset to the factory settings. I'm now creating upward. I installed Firefox and made Google my default search engine. Then I logged in sync - no problem (even email, password... I wrote it!) I clicked sync, but my favorites are not come to the top. I closed Firefox and re-opened, but still no bookmarks. I looked at the settings and everything is checked. I wouldn't change anything. What Miss me? Thank you.

    Both devices use new synchronization and more importantly on Firefox 30.

    If you you don't need the synchronization of the former, and even if you use the same address as used for synchronization of the old all should operate under the new synchronization.

    I think that the new synchronization drops devices that have not synchronized within the past 21 days.

He reappears in the form of waiting for update installation, but when the terms & Condtions accepted the installation takes a few seconds, history shows successful but it has not yet installed.

    Thanks for the reply. I found a previous question with a similar problem as mine, there was a solution that I followed and was able to install SP1. I should have done this before my question!
    I also installed SP2. Resetting to the factory settings was a last resort due to a problem I was experiencing, but after installation of SP2 my original problem reappears. The problem is now in terminal phase and looks like a new pc.
    In any case, once again thanks for your help, I know where to go with future questions I have.

  • How to reset to the default settings for Windows Media Player

    I ran the troubleshooting and now need to reset the Player multimedia default settings how to do this?

    You can reset WMP the default settings in the Control Panel, programs, troubleshooting, WMP settings [WMP reset to default values]

    If that did not solve the problem you're trying to fix then perform these two steps [they are the closest thing possible to uninstall then reinstall WMP & will actually provide a new installation of WMP]

    1 unload WMP - Panel, programs and features, [left] turn on or off has Windows, multimedia features, clear box Windows Media Player, Yes, OK, restart the PC.

    2 reload WMP - Panel, programs and features, [left] turn Windows features on or off, multimedia features, set the Windows Media Player box, Yes, OK, restart the PC.

  • Satellite A665-S5170 reset to the factory settings

    I bought this laptop in February 2011 from best buy, I went on holiday in April, my father at the House-sit to the left and he used my computer. Said there are infestations of virus and its 'techno' friend installed linux mint OS on my computer and I want to not go.

    I want my Windows 7 return but I did not because recovery disks that I did not have too long and has not had the chance (don't wait no not my father to do something like that for her either). I know that there is a separate partition for the system restore in some satellite systems, can I access that without Windows on my computer? It is not double started, it's right linux and I can't STAND it. I also can't afford to pay for the new installation discs. Help, please!

    I can't use any of my programs, and I don't like the alternatives. I want to go back to Windows! Thanks for any help, it's GREATLY appreciated!

    EDITED TO add: since installing Linux, my keys do not light up or work, but I think that they can work with windows.

    Hi NaniApo,

    Usually, if another operating system is installed, you are not able to start the recovery of HARD drive more but you can try holding down the Zero key as Akuma writes.

    If it doesn't work your only option to restore factory settings is Toshiba recovery disc. If you n t have it order a service allowed in your country. On Toshiba site is a list with all FSA.

    I read that you can not afford to pay for a new disk recovery, but on the other side, I have to tell you didn't had the time to read the manual and you have to pay for that mistake. If I buy a new computer, TV or other media device I still have time to read the user's manual first and everyone knows how important it is. ;)

    My mom has a HP Pavilion dv1000 Entertainment Notebook PC special edition and it got a lot of viruses. She was his friend that supposibly has difficulty trying to laptops and tie him up and when she returned to windows was completely wiped out and had a new call for software (Melissa or something like that) here. I was wondering how can I restore this laptop to its factory settings and when I download the disc to do?
